Instructions

In a saucepan combine 2 cups of milk and 2 cups of water in the pan and bring to a simmer or medium-high heat. Stir occasionally to prevent milk from burning at the base of the pan.
Slowly pour in grits while whisking to prevent clumping. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir until grits are cooked all the way through and tender (about 45min).
Stir in butter, cheese, salt and hot sauce to season.
Garnish and serve immediately.
